Probably the most important bills put through during the session were the Hon. Manning Doherty's pair of farm loan measures,, providing for long and short-term farm loans. The bills fafl considerably short of the recommendations of the special commission that investigated the question of rural loans, but they are expected to be of some assistance to farmers whose circumstances are such that they cannot secure credit through present channels. The Hon. W. E. Raney's bill to protect the children of unmarried parents by placing responsibility for maintenance upon the father, is an important measure, as is his new Adoption Act. A bill of a similiar nature, which came from Sergt.-Major McNamara, is that providing for the maintenance of indigent parents by their children. Labour's In niton was not impressive. The Hon. Mr. Rollo got through his bill to establish em-councils, but the What is the don, Oht held in.the aft unlessotherv/i ! a pi 870 Welling Red Cross Doing ?

One of the most important pieces of legislation passed during the session was that providing for payment of "not more than 50 per cent", of the cost of constructing primary lines for supplying electrical current in rural sections. The special committee's proposal that a tax of $2 should be imposed on waterpowers was not pressed, nor was the bonus to small municipalities where the cost of power exceeds $40 put through though a provision of this kind was in the bill as originally brought down. This legislation was passed in the dying hours of the session. It cannot be said that the work of the past session gives the Government any degree of satisfaction. It has not the important record of legislation that it was able to point, to at its first session, and it has had much the worst of it in the legislative ring. Much of the legislation brought down had apparently not received full consideration, and, with an experienced Parliamentarian like the Hon. G. Howard Ferguson across the floor, the Government's shortcomings in this direction were not overlooked. The amount of import-legislation that was either dropped o trimmed down is evidence of the weakness of the Government in handling its programme. It was a striking fact that, though numerically, the Conservatives were the smallest of the three separate groups, the major part of the constructive criticism of the session s from their quarter. In the debates, they produced a surprising imber of good speakers, in rather sharp contrast to the Government side, which depended very largely upon the Premier aind the Hon. Mr. Raney to do the fighting. Han Fenella............ ..... Baltimore........... Grafton,............. Wicklow......... .

Last year Canadians imported considerably 'over a billion dollars worth of goods. Over 68 per cent of these imports came from the United States--and were paid for with Canadian dollars on which the exchange averaged from 10 to as much as 17% per cent. In other words; "for every dollar's worth of UnitedjfcStates goods, Canadians paid and are paying from $1.10 to $1.17% in addition to the duty. As l|ng as Canada continues to import foreign products in excess of her exports, the Canadian military COBOURG LAWN BOWLING CLUB The annual meeting and election of officers Of the Cobourg Lawn Bowling Club was held.
